From: Bill McDonald Bill on 19 May 2008 19:13 I would like to highlight (shadow?) 3 weeks of a 78 week construction schedule; to show a three week look ahead schedule. I need to highlight the three week time frame to show which activities are starting, on-going, or finishing. How do I do this?
From: Trevor Rabey on 19 May 2008 22:41 Say we want the look-ahead to be 3 weeks ahead of the Status Date. You can do the same thing similar for the Current Date. Use a spare Date field, Date1, to store the Status Date. Tools, Customise Fields, then Formula and Status Date is in Function, Project. Use another spare Date field, Date2, to store the [Status Date] +21 Once you have the boundaries of your date range stored in fields you can make a Filter which is similar to the built-in Date Range Filter but which gets its data from the fields instead of user input. Make a Filter called "AA 3 Week Look-ahead". Project, Filtered For, More Filters, New. Filter like this: Tasks whose Start is less than or equal to [Status Date] +21 And Tasks whose Finish is greater than or equal to [Status Date] Trevor RabeyTrevor Rabey 0407213955 61 8 92727485 PERFECT PROJECT PLANNING www.perfectproject.com.au "Bill McDonald" <Bill McDonald(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:3FCAD71E-F18D-4306-9CF1-AEA354DAAD23(a)microsoft.com... >I would like to highlight (shadow?) 3 weeks of a 78 week construction > schedule; to show a three week look ahead schedule.

The ability to create "curtains" to hight a given section of the schedule would be a nice feature. You can come close by drawing a rectangle on the schedule with the drawing tool bar. Once rectangle is drawn vertically, right click it, select properties and then set the desired date anchor, color, etc. One of the features will let you tie the rectangle to the time scale. If the rectangle covers up the items on your Gantt chart, right click on the rectangle and use the "Order" property to move it all the way to the back. Your color choices are somewhat limited, see what works best for you. -- If this post was helpful, please consider rating it.
